COVID-19 and the opportunity to design a more mindful approach to learning
Abstract
The industry of modern schooling leads to surface learning of exaggeratedly voluminous curricula and excessively high-stakes assessments that instrumentalize the pursuit of knowledge. In order to return to a more mindful, authentic, and humanly paced approach, disruption from the present model is needed. Paradoxically, the COVID-19 pandemic might be the catalyst that will bring this about.
Keywords: Assessment; COVID-19; Curriculum; Learning.
